Introducing Barack “Arugula” Obama; Update: CafePress says, “No, you can’t”

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 15, 2008 04:01 PM

Artfully talented reader Tennyson, inspired by See-Dubya’s posts on Obama’s arugula gaffe (see here and here) and by Michael Bates’s funny 2007 post on “typical liberal arugulance,” has cooked up a new photoshop to commemorate the old remarks making news again in light of his small-town condescension:

1arug.jpg

Like Bates asked: “What is it about Democratic presidential candidates and upscale leafy vegetables?”

***

We’ll have to add the Arugula image to our Snobwear collection–if CafePress puts our products back up. They’ve yanked our merchandise based on “content policy usage” concerns, which we have already addressed. I’ll keep you posted.

***

Update: CafePress has removed our Snob-ama products again, citing copyright infringement concerns.

Meanwhile, they have no problem with this merchandise from gay supporters of Obama:

1cafeobama007.jpg

Or any of these or other countless Obama products utilizing Obama’s likeness and logo themes:

1cafeobama005.jpg

1cafeobama009.jpg

1cafeobama1.jpg

But don’t worry, typical bitter people! We’ll find a new place to sell SNOBwear. I’ll update with a link soon.

Update: Here’s the new shop at Printfection.

Here’s Tennyson’s new poster with the changes to the Obama logo that CafePress rejected:

For reference, here’s the logo on the original photoshop that CafePress says it objected to:

    Fancy foods are an important part of any snob’s diet, don’chano. So important that you, the taxpayer, must provide the poor children of the Berkeley government schools with the money needed to buy them.

    Michelle had this on an earlier post, from Senator Jim DeMint’s homepage;

    One earmark provides gourmet organic lunches to schools in the Berkeley School District. While our Marines are making due with MREs of Sloppy Joe and Chili with Beans, the organization Chez Panisse is getting federal tax dollars to design meals that promote “environmental harmony.” Chez Panisse’s menu features “Comté cheese soufflé with mâche salad,” “Meyer lemon éclairs with huckleberry coulis” and “Chicory salad with creamy anchovy vinaigrette and olive toast.”

    Are we to understand that the city that has been home to many of the country’s most rich and famous cannot afford to pay for its own designer school lunches?

    By refusing to grow arugula the people of Iowa are not meeting the needs of the children of snobby parents!

    Shame!

    It’s ok, I had no idea either. So I checked it out.

    Apparently it’s some kind of incredibly expensive grossly mutated lettuce that may or may not work as an aphrodisiac in addition to being profoundly rich on Vitamin C, and is – humorously – described as having a “rich” taste.

    Note to Mr. “O” – While grocery shopping with my family this past weekend at Super Wal-mart, I noticed they had a special on arugula: two of the prewashed packages for just six dollars!

    But being the man of the people that you are, I’m sure you already know this. Just like you know that the majority of typical white and black Americans buy their groceries at Super Wal-mart – not at eco-friendly & thrice-the-price Whole Foods!

    No luckybrand, people are harping on him because he thinks Iowa voters shop at the upscale, non-existent (in Iowa) Whole Foods, and that the rising cost of Arugula is an “everyman” concern. Coupled with his recent comments about “bitter” people, some of us think he’s a snob. Not an “Uppity” black person, a snob. His ancestral roots have nothing to do with it.

    Where I live, arugula is just something you use in salad (and appears on nearly every restaurant menu), and is wholly bereft of class or political implications. Maybe that’s why I genuinely cannot grasp what all the hoopla is about. Neither do I believe that any person can be reduced to their taste in salad greens.

    Sigh. I guess it’s too bad Obama isn’t as down-to-earth as past presidents such as Andover/Yale legacy George Bush (41 or 43 — take your pick); old-money Franklin D. Roosevelt; or hyper-educated, Francophile Thomas “Fancy Lad” Jefferson. Although, I don’t know that by the standards used here to judge Obama that any of the aforementioned would be considered an everyman…

    #4, I actually saw arugula at the super Wal-Mart in Hinesville, GA, when we lived there. I’m sure they have it other places, just haven’t been close enough again to a super Wal-Mart.
    I’ve actually had it a few times but I’m an iceberg or romaine kind of girl myself. It sort of had this peppery type taste but perhaps it’s an acquired taste?

    This is hysterical. There are indeed class implications. If Obama had wanted to show he’s out of touch with the average taxpayer, the arugula question was spot on. Ask the server at the Maid-Rite if they have arugula for your sandwich and they’ll look at you sideways. The families the left likes to describe as “at risk” aren’t eating much arugula, if they eat salad at all.

    OK, putting aside that it sounds like a foreign word for something you cough up from your lungs, it still sounds like it violates the proper order of the food chain: you don’t eat leafy plants yourself, but rather feed them to a pig, cow, or chicken …. then kill and eat the pig, cow or chicken.

    No no. First you prepare a lovely bernaise sauce for the steak. And pair that with a nice Bordeaux, I’m thinking a Pomerol.

    Then you lovingly stuff the pork with a delicious apple stuffing. Now many would tell you white wine with white meat, but I say go ahead and pair that with a red on the lighter side, like a nice Burgundy or Oregonian Pinot Noir. Of course a Reisling from Alcase would be very nice too.

    And then you throw away the chicken because only poor people eat chick– oh. wait. I fear I have said too much.

    Well, ironically, arugula, aka roquette or rocket, is a spicy cousin of the humble mustard green, a staple of the “lower income” southern diet. And it’s very easy (and cheap) to grow your own, as we have in our back yard garden. It’s nothing to be snobby about!

    umm.. why all these personal attacks lately? Many seem to be based on silly things like what food Obama eats and the shock and horror of Hillary knocking back a shooter. How about more about their politics, that’s what concerns me, and what should be concerning everyone else, not what they did or did not eat for breakfast. C’mon Michelle, I’ve been an avid follower here for a long time, but you seen to be lowering your standards lately.. just because the left do it, doesn’t mean you have to.

    and seriously when the price of gas here is over $3.75 who gives a flying fig about arugula?

    aj, Obama had a meeting at the Getty home a few days ago, so you can expect prices to fall any time now. No wait…

    It’s kind of convoluted, and I’ve done almost no research, but I believe Getty Oil is owned by Lukoil – a Russian company – and licenses the Getty name from Getty Real Estate, the company that owns the name. So – and it’s a wild guess – the Getty in Pacific Heights gets money from a Russian company and uses it to host a fundraiser for Obama. Did they invite poor Hsu, or is this a Russian money versus Chinese money Dem run-off?

    Sure, it’s a stretch, and hyperbole is often my middle name, but how many coincidences are there in politics? Arugula is a red-herring. And with a little salt and pepper, EVOO (Rachel Ray did you say?) and Balsamic vinegar you have a salad.

    I admit to never (knowingly) eating arugula.

    But I do remember watching a TV news story of President George H W Bush shopping at a grocery store with a news crew during his 1992(?) campaign, and being surprised at the “new” laser bar code scanner. I believe this was after a reporter asked him how much a loaf a bread cost, or something like that.

    Can any millionaire represent the American people?

    When your the near abused Barack Hussein Obama the child they are collard greens. When you are the court ordered Barack Hussein Obama person of privilege, who graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School on various types of merit dollars, those greens become arugula. The one life course ignored by Obama and the rest of his clan is humility.

    May I ask would you rather have a welfare recipient represent us? Oh wait – the Clintons have lived their whole life on the public dole so they do qualify.

    Here in Phoenix 4 bucks. And no, I did not buy a loaf. I’ll go to the thrift bakery and buy day old bread for a dollar instead.

    I’m so glad MM does give a few precious moments to humor. We have the choice of participating in humor or attempting to throw a wet towel on it. So my advice is, if you don’t care to engage in an exchange of a few moments of laughter and fun – go where you feel most comfortable ;)
